Vardy penalty rescues point for lucky Leicester

David Wagner may be a student of the Leicester story, but if his Huddersfield team are to write their own tale of the unexpected this season they will need more of a killer touch around goal, and a touch of fortune from officialdom, which was absent here.

Belgian striker Laurent Depoitre’s debut goal early in the second half was Town’s first in three games and it never looked sufficient, with performers of the quality of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez ready to pounce on the counter.

Indeed, Vardy’s penalty swiftly cancelled the opener out four minutes later with his season’s fourth. When Elias Kachunga thought he’d restored Huddersfield’s advantage, the goal was ruled out – erroneously as it transpired.
